Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What constitutes an island and the archaeology contained within? Is it the physicality of its boundary (between shoreline and sea)? Does this physical barrier extend further into a watery zone? Archaeologically, can islands be defined by cultural heritage and influence? Clearly, and based on these few probing questions, islands are more than just lumps of rock and earth sitting in the middle of a sea or ocean. An island is a space which, when described in terms of topography, landscape form and resources, becomes a place. A place can sometimes be delineated with barriers and boundaries; it may also have a perimeter and can be distinguished from the space that surrounds it. The 16 papers presented here explore the physicality, and levels of insularity of individual islands and island groups during prehistory through a series of case studies on Neolithic island archaeology in the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions. For the eastern Atlantic (the Atlantic Archipelago) papers discuss the sacred geographies and material culture of Neolithic Gotland, Orkney, and Anglesey and the architecture of and ritual behavior associated with megalithic monuments in the Channel Islands and the Scilly Isles. The Mediterranean region is represented by a different type of Neolithic, both in terms of architecture and material culture. Papers discuss theoretical constructs and ritual deposition, cave sites, ritualized and religious aspects of Neolithic death and burial; metaphysical journeys associated with the underworld in Late Neolithic Malta and the possible role of its Temple Period art in ritual activities; and palaeoenvironmental evidence from the Neolithic monuments of Corsica. The cases examined illustrate the diversity of the evidence available that affords a better understanding of the European-Mediterranean Neolithic 'island society', not least the effects of interaction/contact and/or geographical insularity/isolation, all factors that are considered to have consequences for the establishment and modification of cultures in island settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict Landscapes explores the long under-acknowledged and under-investigated aspects of where and how modern conflict landscapes interact and conjoin with pre-twentieth-century places, activities, and beliefs, as well as with individuals and groups. Investigating and understanding the often unpredictable power and legacies of landscapes that have seen (and often still viscerally embody) the consequences of mass death and destruction, the book shows, through these landscapes, the power of destruction to preserve, refocus, and often reconfigure the past. Responding to the complexity of modern conflict, the book offers a coherent, integrated, and sensitized hybrid approach, which calls on different disciplines where they overlap in a shared common terrain. Dealing with issues such as memory, identity, emotion, and wellbeing, the chapters tease out the human experience of modern conflict and its relationship to landscape. Conflict Landscapes will appeal to a wide range of disciplines involved in studying conflict, such as archaeology, anthropology, material culture studies, art history, cultural history, cultural geography, military history, and heritage and museum studies.

Book excerpt: Reprint of another classic Neolithic Studies Group volume. 'It is a sign of the intellectual health of a specialist study group that its deliberations can generate collections of papers of general interest. The topical issue of landscape is addressed, although with the added complication of attempting to focus on the domestic as opposed to ceremonial aspects of Neolithic life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guernsey is an independent British Crown Dependency located in the English Channel between the United Kingdom and France. The island has a rich history, having been settled since prehistoric times and later experiencing invasions by both the Vikings and the Normans. Guernsey is known for its beautiful beaches, its mild climate, and its unique culture that blends British, French, and Norman influences. The island has its own currency, the Guernsey pound, and its own legal system, although it is defended by the UK and relies on it for certain services such as defense. Guernsey is also a thriving economic center, with a strong financial services sector thanks to its favorable tax laws and regulations. The island is home to a number of international banks and insurance companies, as well as local firms that support the tourism and agriculture industries. The government of Guernsey is committed to maintaining a high quality of life for its residents, protecting the environment, and preserving its heritage while also embracing modern technology and innovation. Visitors to Guernsey can enjoy a wide variety of activities, from exploring the castles and museums to hiking along scenic coastal paths or sampling local cuisine in one of the island's many restaurants.

Book excerpt: This volume examines landscapes that have been cleared of inhabitants—for economic, environmental, or socio-political reasons, by choice or by force—and the social impacts of clearance on their populations. Using cases from five continents, and ranging from prehistoric, through colonial and post-colonial times, the contributors show landscapes as meaningful points of contestation when populations abandon them or are exiled from them. Acts of resistance and revitalization are also explored, demonstrating the social and political meaning of specific landscapes to individuals, groups, and nations, and how they help shape cultural identity and ideology.Sponsored by the World Archaeological Congress

Book excerpt: Pain relief refers to the various methods and techniques used to alleviate or reduce the sensation of pain. Pain can be acute or chronic in nature and can manifest in different parts of the body. Pain relief methods can range from simple home remedies such as applying heat or cold to the affected area, taking pain relievers, physical therapy, and even surgical procedures. Pain management is important as uncontrolled pain can lead to decreased quality of life, depression, and in some cases, even disability. Over the years, numerous pain relief drugs and treatments have been developed to tackle pain effectively. These range from over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin to strong opioids like morphine and fentanyl, which are used to manage more severe pain. Apart from drugs, pain management techniques such as acupuncture and physical therapy are becoming increasingly popular and have been shown to be effective in reducing pain. However, the overuse of opioids has been a significant concern in recent years, leading to addiction and even overdose. It is essential to seek expert advice when dealing with pain, as a personalized treatment plan is typically required to achieve optimal pain relief while minimizing any side effects.
